Detectives from Quincy’s police drug unit have arrested three people suspected of driving into the city for a heroin deal.

Capt. John Dougan said a Randolph man and a Lynn couple were charged Friday for allegedly trying to sell heroin and violate the state drug laws.

Dougan said detectives found 33 grams of what they believe to be heroin when they searched the trio’s car after they parked on Kendrick Ave. in South Quincy at 2:40 p.m. Friday.

“That’s a significant amount,” Dougan said.

Candelario Espino, 20, of Selwyn Road, Randolph, is charged with class A trafficking and conspiracy to violate the drug laws.

Wastter Guerra, 22, of Lincoln Street in Lynn, is charged with class A trafficking, conspiracy to violate the drug laws, and operating a vehicle with a suspended license. Irlene Guerra, 20, of Harwood Street in Lynn is charged with conspiracy to violate the drug laws and allowing Wastter Guerra to drive her 2001 Nissan Maxima as an unlicensed operator.

All three are scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Quincy District Court.

Dougan said detectives were watching the Kendrick Avenue area when they saw the Maxima pull into the driveway at Kendrick Avenue. When an officer asked to talk to the three, Espino allegedly fled the car but was immediately caught.

Dougan said the trio allegedly gave conflicting stories of why they’d stopped there, including that they were “just driving around.” Police searched them and the car and reportedly found more than 20 small bags of what appeared to be heroin.
